Re: Dynojet slide spring specs?
John, does this help? So going back to my post in July 2015; I have taken delivery of a US spec DJ kit - 1185.002, and the springs are 137mm long; https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1885/42658452060_c4ab39f6d4_b.jpg I have not measured the gauge of the wire though. Wow ! Thanks, Springs with that much ...

Re: what have you done to your
Went out for a 50 mile ride in the 1960’s yesterday! Does nothing as well as the VTR but everything is more relaxed. Lovely 'proper' British Triumph. Whilst they're putting out some nice bikes now, the 'international' flavour seems to have taken the 'all British' out of the brand. I'm not being ove...

Re: Dynojet slide spring specs?
Dynojet springs are way softer (20-30 %), than std springs. Dont have specs right now, if you really need, i can do some measurement till end of the week. Btw, using dj springs as a template, I have batch of the springs lightly stiffer than oem made, and second batch 20% stiffer over oem (1st gen, s...

Re: how did that happen
You are just helping Rob to overcome his bad decision and keep his bike in your garage for a while until he take it back. Didnt that happen with the yellow?

Re: Which vfr bars will fit my 98 storm
Better go this way IMO. Adjustable bars give some height too, plus additional benefit in width and adjustable angle - both making difference in comfort and handling. I have higher version on blade forks. Pricier for sure. https://www.discovolantemoto.co.uk/tarozzi-adjustable-clipons-semi-high-454-p....

Re: Fitting fireblade forks ?
I do wish to use same wheel and brakes so 93-97 it is ! replace for these forks is quite useless as it shares the same crappy design of lower triples. You can achieve better result with just upgrading your current forks. That is certainly an option, but I should think the udf from a blade would be ...
